About this game

BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Revenge is the sequel to BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception, set in 3029 during the Succession Wars. Players take the role of nineteen-year-old MechWarrior Jason Youngblood of the Lyran Commonwealth's House Steiner.

Jason leads BattleMechs against the Draconis Combine's House Kurita in a mission to rescue his captured father and seek revenge. The game leans more toward real-time strategy than its predecessor, combining a branching storyline with real-time scenarios where battlefield maneuvers unfold.

It was developed by Westwood Associates and published by Infocom for DOS and MS-DOS. The game also features digital speech and a technically advanced musical score.
